i didn't hear a lot of conservatives arguing we can't possibly reduce tax rates and simplify the tax code because that will simply make all those people legal again. we said this is the way of putting an end to illegal activity generated largely by an unenforceable set of laws in this case the tax code. i think we have a similar situation with regard to immigration. we don't have a set of laws that can be enforced with people who are determined to get out of the situation they're in at home and want to come here. >> we continue with the discussion of morality and politics. i'm joined by frank bruny of the "new york times," karen tumulty of the "washington post" and film maker alex gibney. >> a broader question. is all of this going on with the scandals with anthony weaner and elliott spitzer and what happed with mark sanford more of a commentary about them or more of a commentary about us as a society? >> i think you could make either argument. what fascinates me is what it says about them or what it says, to be more precise, about the kind of people who are drawn to politics. if you
